After the Executive Council voted Tuesday to defund a sex education program aimed at reducing teen pregnancy, a spokesperson for Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said she is working to replace the funding. And Democratic Councilor Cinde Warmington said she is talking with the full federal delegation to do the same.“These programs help adolescents stay healthy by providing essential sex education, and they shouldn’t be politicized,” said Shaheen spokesperson Sam Paisley in an email.

Councilor Joe Kenney said he does not object to sex education for high school students but has concerns about offering it to middle school students.

In a state with no consistent sex education standards, some Ohio groups are working with schools to get students the needed education, and even building programs for parents to have the tools they need to talk about it with their kids.

It’s 2022, after all.

Three Executive Council Republicans have for a second time paused funding for a long-standing after-school sexual health education program for at-risk adolescents in Manchester and Sullivan County, areas with highest teen pregnancy rates in the state.

The three Republicans who voted to halt the funding — Joe Kenney, David Wheeler, and Ted Gatsas — have previously approved it, according to Executive Council records.
